Wells is thriving settlement, and is
already noted as one of the favorite
health resorts of Southern California.
Two springs at the place are strongly
mpregnated-the one with sulphur and
iron, the other with sulpher and
magnesia. Their curative properties
for rheumatism and blood and skin
diseases are scarcely equaled, vieipg
with those of the far-farmed Arkansas
hot springs. Fulton Wells is situated
near the line of the L. A. branch Of the
A. T. & s. F. r. r., and will be con-
nected with Norwalk, on the S. P. r.
R., by street railway, the franchise for
which is already secured. As health
resort tits well-known, and is certain to
become still more noted as the afflicted
become better acquainted with the
health-giving properties of the wells. A
trip to Fulton Wells-only two miles
from Norwalk aud connected Herewith
by daily stage-will amply repay the
traveller in California. Three hundred
and ninety-six lots will be offered for
sale, seventy.two being already sold
The further sale of those choice lots will
be suspended, however, until the 2lst

THAT SUGAR PATENT.

The Patent Obtained by a Government
Enpioye the Process of Masking
Sugar to- be Investigated.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The controversy
which has been pending since last spring
between the sorghum manufacturers OF
Kansas and the Commissioner of Agri-
culture, will be settled by the U nited States
courts if the Acknowledgement of the Uni
ted States shall be OF the opinion that
suit can be maintained against the holder
OF the patent for the diffusing process.
There is no subject in recent years which
has excited so much general interest among
agricnlturalists of the sorghum produc-
ing belt as the patent for the manufacture
of sorghum sugar by the diffusing pro-
cess, which was granted to one Swensoa-
This gentleman is expert employed
by the Bureau of Agriculture for the pur-
pose of experimenting to the best
methods of making sugar from sorghum
cane. He was paid his salary by the Gov
ernment, furnished with expensive
plant for his experiments and all OF the
appliances by means OF which his dlscoy-
cry was made were furnished at the eX-
pense Of the Government While engaged
IN these experiments, Swenson discovered
what is known as the process of making
sugar from sorghum syrup by diffusion
Swenson having discovered this process
under the circumstances indicated,
made application for q patent and OBJ
tanned it within period of time so short as
to surprise those who have to wait the tedi
Gus delays OF the Patent ONCE. While
other inventors have been required to wait
for months for the granting OF the applica-
ticn for their patents Swenson scarcely
tad to wait days, and he Immediately be-
gan to require the sorghum producers in
the Western States to pay him u royalty
for his patent The farmers of Kansas are
in open rebellion at this, and the Commits
sioner of Agriculture has denounced The
patent, claiming the invention of right be-
longs to the Government
Senator Plumb has succeeded in securing
passage through the Senate of a resolution |
which directs the Attorney General to
bring suit TO cancel the patent of Swenson |
II In his opinion the suit can be sustain cd. |

erty.
SAN francisco, Dec. 16-The steamship
City OF Sidney, which arrived yesterday
Afternoon from Hong Kong aud Yokohama,
Drought Chinese papers containing details
-of disaster occasIone1 by the Yellow
liver OVERLOOKING its banks in the province
If Honu, and descI bing it as one OF the
most appalling occurrences in loss OF life
and property reco, ded in recent times
The river broke It's banks on he evening OF
September Is, southwest OF the CITY of
Ching Chow, and not only completely in
undated that city, but also ten Other popn-
lous cities. The whole area is now u rag
ing sea, ten to thirty feet deep, where it
was once densely populated and rich
plain. The former bed OF the Yellow r.ver
IS nov dry aud the present lake was the
0eCsof the river centuries ago. The loss OF
life is lncalculable and the statement IS
made by missionaries that millions of Chi
namen are homeless and starving.
Thomas Patton, one Of t re American mis-
sionaries, writing from Honu province I'M
der date of October %, says: ''The newly
gathered crops, houses and trees are all
swept away. involving fearful loss of life.
The country was covered with fine win
Ter braid, which is gone and implies CON-
plete destruction TO next years crop.
Bread, Bread is the cry of thousands who
are on the river bank. Benevolent people
90 in boats and throw bread among the
masses here and there, but it is nothing
compared to the requirements. The mass
of people is Still being increased by contin-
ual arrivals even more hungry than the
last. There they sit, bundled, hungry and
detected, without a rag 10 wear or morsel
Of food. Many huts are being erected for
them. What it will be in two months can
not conceive. The misery is increased
owing to the bitter cold weather."
The extent of ground swept over by the
6ood given i'll English figures, is over 1000
square miles, and the land thus submerged
formed part of one of the richest and
most densely populated plains of Northern
China. The necessity for liberal aid may
therefore be imagined. Already consider
able sums have been contributed toward
relieving sufferers. The Emperor of China
has given two millions OF taels and the
Chinese have started subscription lists in
Shanghai, TO which foreigners have lib
orally contributed. Millions have boen
rendered homeless and entirely deprived
of all chances of earning their livelihood,
for their fields will either become perma.
nent lakes or uninhabita BILE swamps. 1t is
feared that the distress which will be felt
during the coming winter will equal in in
tensity the famine of ten years ago, when
charitable donations from all parts OF the
world were utterly inadequate.
